Watching the way they were sizing each other up, Wu Yue felt strongly that this mont needed so background music.
As for what it should be...
’Just because I glanced at you in the crowd, your nose hair instantly caught my eye. I pray we never et again, so from now on my at will taste sweeter~’
Silently, they pulled the protruding blue tufts of fur from their nostrils. After looking at each other, they all ran over to the Salt Crystal Beasts whose fur had been plucked. Under the creatures’ terrified gazes, they pressed the nostril-stuffed fur right back onto them.
’Anyway, as long as it looks like it’s on their bodies, it should be fine.’
But then, a heart-wrenching scene for the Snow Tiger Beastn unfolded. The Salt Crystal Beasts, which had looked utterly terrified just a mont ago, suddenly started shaking violently, looking for all the world like they were at a senior citizens’ disco.
Only after shaking off the blue fur the Beastn had just pressed onto them did the Salt Crystal Beasts seem to heave a sigh of relief, sitting back down on the ground to continue gnawing on their ore.
Furthermore, they made sure to eat at quite a distance from the discarded tufts of fur.
’Hahahaha!’ Wu Yue inwardly howled with laughter.
’They’ve totally been rejected! Sticking fur that’s been up your nostrils back onto soone else—how is that polite?’
The Beastn rubbed their noses awkwardly, giving Wu Yue sheepish grins.
Their silly expressions left her speechless. "You don’t need to worry. at cured with salt will be very salty, but it won’t have the taste of rot."
The Beastn nodded, their beastly faces stern, but their eyes held a hint of sympathy as they looked at Wu Yue.
’Her previous tribe must have been too small to have any extra at to store for winter. That’s probably why she doesn’t know what at stored too long tastes like.’
Of course, Wu Yue didn’t notice the conflicted looks in the Beastn’s eyes. She was a little nervous herself. ’I wonder if the cured at was a success... What if it’s gone bad...’
Her eyes brightened. ’How could it possibly be rotten?’
’If it were really rotten, these Beastman Warriors with their keen sense of sll would have picked up the scent long ago.’
The Beastn followed Wu Yue toward the corner where the cured at was stored. The closer they got, the more astonished their faces beca.
When the row of neatly hung cured at ca into view, the Beastman Warriors acted like people from a tiny tribe seeing a hoard of at for the first ti, and they sward forward.
One after another, they craned their necks, getting close to the cured at and sniffing it incessantly.
"It really doesn’t sll!"
"Beast God! This at has been stored for so long, yet it hasn’t spoiled in the slightest! There’s not even a hint of a bad sll!"
The commotion finally attracted the attention of the other Beastman Warriors.
They stomped over nacingly, intending to teach a lesson to the disobedient, howling warriors.
But when they saw the row of cured at, which they had long since forgotten existed, their eyes widened in shock.
"This is the at we cured before?"
With that, just like the warriors before them, they leaned in and took a deep sniff.
The next mont, a familiar scene played out. The chorus of howls and the eye-searing celebratory dance made the corners of Wu Yue’s mouth twitch violently.
’Is curing so at really worth celebrating with an eye-searing dance and howls loud enough to pierce my eardrums?’
It wasn’t until a while later, when Yuan Lang returned from his patrol and gave each of them a swift kick, that the Beastn finally quieted down. They squatted on the ground, covering their mouths and letting out suppressed chuckles.
Not wanting to bother with the Beastman Warriors, who had circled the at and sniffed it at least a hundred tis, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang simply picked up a atier piece of cured at and went elsewhere.
